CBJ Mining Ordinance Subcommittee
The Assembly Mining Subcommittee was established on June 26, 2017, as a result of public comment concerning our current mining ordinance. The goal of this committee is to conduct an analysis to determine if there is duplication of state and federal laws in the city’s ordinance. The committee is comprised of Assembly Members, Planning Commissioners, and members of the public.
